Mount Etna for Italy don explode, and ogbonge ash and smoke rise from di volcano.
Pictures and video from di island of Sicily show as volcanic material dey pour comot from di volcano on Monday morning.
Italy National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) Etna Observatory say dem record explosions of "increasing intensity" for di early hours on Monday morning.
Di full scale of di eruption neva dey clear and di disruption e cause be like say e no too much.
Mount Etna na one of di world most active volcanoes, so eruptions na normal tin and di explosion dey rarely cause significant damage or injury.
Ground movement show say di latest eruption happun for di south eastern edge of di volcano, according to INGV.
Videos wey dem share throughout Monday show mixture of ash, gas and rock – wey dey known as pyroclastic flow – di video show as e dey comot from di site and as e dey move down di side of di volcano.
Geologists wey dey monitor di eruption tok say e dey likely say part of di volcano crater don collapse.
Pyroclastic flow fit dey very dangerous to di surrounding area, but e no show say e fit be threat.
For dia most recent update, INGV tok say di volcanic material neva pass di Valley of di Lion, di place wia tourists dey gada.
INGV say dem first record changes for di volcano activity at 00:39 local time (22:39 GMT), bifor dem clear am say na ongoing "Strombolian" eruption.
Di size of Strombolian eruptions dey vary but di explosions dey happun one afta di oda. E dey happun sake of di presence of gas for di magma chamber within di volcano.
Wen di gas bubble reach di surface, dem fit burst suddenly, and begin throw material skywards.
These types of eruptions fit dey particularly dangerous for nearby aircraft.
Authorities reportedly issue red alert on Monday, to possibly suspend flights wey dey operate nearby, but dem later bring am down.
Mount Etna last notable eruption happun for February and e make di island Catania airport to divert dozens of flights sake of ash clouds.
Authorities don also warn tourists to comot from di volcano lava flows.

Major blow to Brits as iconic seaside village admits 'crippling' issue
A tiny but insatiably popular seaside village has revealed a huge shakeup to one of its most beloved attractions, urging Chancellor Rachel Reeves to acknowledge the difficulties it is facing A tiny seaside village has unveiled a major shakeup directly affecting UK holidaymakers, as it confesses to a 'crippling' problem. Renowned for its 3.2-mile-long golden sandy beach, rows of flashing arcades, and stellar fish and chip shops - Ingoldmells is a vibrant, no-thrills resort that has long attracted droves of tourists. Located in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, and just a stone's throw from the popular town of Skegness, this tiny village has one huge attraction: Fantasy Island. The theme park boasts over 30 rides including the stomach-churning Volcano which shoots visitors vertically into the air, as well as the Odyssey and Millennium roller coaster. For younger adrenaline-seekers, the dodgems, Sea Storm, and Rhombus Rocket are great options. Fantasy Island also hosts Europe's largest seven-day market - which sells everything from clothes to cosmetics, and delicious bakery items. "There are so many things to do at Fantasy Island!" the resort states. "Our exhilarating rides and roller coasters will test even the bravest thrill-seekers' nerves, while those looking for something more family-friendly will have plenty to choose from. We have Discovery and Adventure for the thrill seekers and Little Explorer for the little ones." However, in a huge blow for the village - Fantasy Island has confirmed it is reducing its opening hours during the quieter periods, citing industry-wide struggles. According to Lincolnshire Live, the park will now shut its rides on Mondays and Tuesdays outside of the busy summer season, although the market and arcade will remain open daily. A spokesperson from Fantasy Island told the publication: "Whilst our rides remain open every day during the summer, we have made the decision to restrict our opening outside of this peak period. This reflects the challenges currently facing the tourism and hospitality sector. "The recent budget has had a crippling effect - particularly due to increased wage costs, soaring electricity prices, and a broader lack of understanding and support for our industry. This, coupled with growing caution in consumer spending, makes it increasingly difficult to operate sustainably outside peak periods." The spokesperson called on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to acknowledge the difficulties that coastal attractions are enduring, emphasising their importance to local economies and job markets. This move follows the recent shakeup to employer national insurance contributions (NIC) which took effect in April. MP for Boston and Skegness, Richard Tice, warned the hospitality and leisure industry in the region is 'dire'. "I've just been with one of the biggest employers in Skegness, they are employing 40 less young people than they were this time last year," he said in a video posted to social media. "The knock-on effect of that for suppliers and the hoteliers, hearing of many more hotels closed, up for sale, theme parks, shut for two days a week to deal with the horrific national insurance increases. I think Rachel Reeves is in for a massive massive shock. The news on the front line in the coastal resorts in Skegness is dire." When approached by the Mirror about Ingoldmell's blow, a government spokesperson for HM Treasury did not explicitly reference the village - but insisted it was a 'pro-business government'. "Economic activity is at a record high with 500,000 more people in employment since we entered office," they said. "We are protecting the smallest businesses from the employer National Insurance rise, shielding 250,000 retail, hospitality and leisure business properties from paying full business rates and have capped corporation tax at 25 per cent - the lowest rate in the G7. We delivered a once-in-a-Parliament budget last year that took necessary decisions on tax to stabilise the public finances and fund public services, including the NHS. We are now focused on creating opportunities for businesses to compete and access the finance they need to scale, export and break into new markets." The Mirror has contacted East Lindsey District Council for comment.

Simple blood test capable of identifying if you will rapidly develop severe Alzheimer's
A simple blood test can tell which patients will rapidly develop severe Alzheimer's, a study reveals today. Identifying those with mild cognitive impairment who are most likely to suffer an accelerated decline could allow them to enter clinical trials and receive extra support, researchers say. Neurologists tested 315 non-diabetic patients with cognitive deficits, including 200 with Alzheimer's disease, for resistance to insulin – a hormone that regulates blood-sugar levels. This was assessed using the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. Among those with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's, individuals with the highest TyG scores declined four times faster over the three-year follow-up period than those with lower TyG levels. Researchers suggest that insulin resistance, which has already been linked to the onset of Alzheimer's, may accelerate progression by impairing the uptake of glucose in the brain, promotinginflammation and disrupting the blood-brain barrier. It may also contribute to the build-up of amyloid, a toxic protein, in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The scientists at the University of Brescia, Italy, also found that high TyG was associated with blood-brain barrier disruption and cardiovascular risk factors. But they found no link between high TyG and other neurodegenerative diseases. Their study will be presented today at the European Academy of Neurology Congressin Helsinki. Lead researcher Dr Bianca Gumina said: 'Once mild cognitive impairment is diagnosed, families always ask how fast it will progress. 'Our data shows that a simple metabolic marker available in every hospital laboratorycan help identify more vulnerable subjects who may besuitable candidates for targeted therapy or specificintervention strategies.'

Why nightmares could make you age faster and die sooner
Frequent nightmares are linked to premature ageing and increase the risk of an early death, according to a new study. Adults who report weekly nightmares are more than three times likely to die before the age of 70 compared to those who rarely or never experience them, researchers found. The study found nightmares to be a 'stronger predictor of premature death' than smoking, obesity, poor diet, and low physical activity. The scientists warned the findings should be treated as a 'public health concern', but said people can reduce nightmares by managing stress. The team, led by Dr Abidemi Otaiku of the UK Dementia Research Institute, and Imperial College London, analysed data from 2,429 children aged eight to 10 and 183,012 adults aged 26 to 86 over a period of 19 years. The research, presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress this month, found that nightmares disrupt both sleep quality and duration, which impairs the body's overnight cellular restoration and repair ability. The combined impacts of chronic stress and disrupted sleep are likely to contribute to the accelerated ageing of our cells and bodies. Dr Otaiku said, 'Our sleeping brains cannot distinguish dreams from reality. That's why nightmares often wake us up sweating, gasping for breath, and with our hearts pounding – because our fight-or-flight response has been triggered. This stress reaction can be even more intense than anything we experience while awake.' He said: 'Nightmares lead to prolonged elevations of cortisol, a stress hormone closely linked to faster cellular ageing. For those who frequently experience nightmares, this cumulative stress may significantly impact the ageing process.' He added: 'Given how common and modifiable nightmares are, they should be taken far more seriously as a public health concern.' Researchers found that children and adults who had frequent nightmares also exhibited faster ageing. This accounted for approximately 40 per cent of those who had a higher risk of early death. Dr Otaiku said this was the first study to show nightmares can predict faster biological ageing and earlier mortality, even after accounting for other health issues. Even monthly nightmares were linked to faster ageing and increased mortality compared to those who had no nightmares. and the links were consistent across all ages, sexes, ethnicities, and mental health statuses. 'The good news is that nightmares can be prevented and treated,' said Dr Otaiku. Simple measures, such as maintaining good sleep hygiene, managing stress, seeking treatment for anxiety or depression and not watching scary films can be effective in reducing nightmares, he said.
